LOS ANGELES (Feb. 27, 2013) — The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) is pleased to announce its return participation in the European Summit.

According to its promoters, The European Summit is Europe’s leading B2B conference for the online entertainment industries. A longtime supporter of the association, it once again stands by ASACP, with its event at the Hotel Calipolis in Barcelona, on March 1-4, 2013.

ASACP’s Executive Director Tim Henning and newly named Director of European Outreach, Vince Charlton, will be attending.

“Barcelona is an important stop on the adult digital media show circuit,” Henning explained. “The Summit attracts a large number of European operators that we may not meet elsewhere, so attending allows ASACP to convey its message more widely than ever before.”

This will be Charlton’s first event on behalf of the association.

“As ASACP’s new Director of European Outreach, Barcelona will allow Vince to hit the ground running,” Henning said. “The timing of his appointment couldn’t have been better.”

Henning and Charlton will conduct an ASACP/RTA Information Session at the Summit on Saturday, March 2, at 2 p.m.

“From our mission of keeping children out of and away from online adult entertainment, to the various tools we provide for doing so, such as our Best Practices and Restricted To Adults (RTA) child protection system, ASACP has a lot to offer publishers of age-restricted content,” Henning added. “Vince and I will not only explain how these tools work for your business, but how supporting ASACP helps businesses to protect themselves by protecting children.”

The European Summit’s promoters have graciously provided ASACP with a show guide ad and sponsor banner placement, and generously underwriting the association’s hotel expenses for the duration of the event.

Founded in 1996, ASACP is a non-profit organization dedicated to online child protection.
ASACP is comprised of two separate corporate entities, the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection and the ASACP Foundation. The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) is a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization. ASACP manages a membership program that provides resources to companies in order to help them protect children online. The ASACP Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. The ASACP Foundation battles child pornography through its CP Reporting Hotline and helps parents prevent children from viewing age-restricted material online with its Restricted To Adults (RTA) website label (www.rtalabel.org). ASACP has invested nearly 17 years in developing progressive programs to protect children, and its relationship in assisting the adult industry’s child protection efforts is unparalleled.

I first came across your site when I did a search on google on how to report suspected CP after I stumbled across CP whilst surfing the net and was unsure how to deal with it appropriately. I have reported questionable sites to you on numerous occasions. Being a victim of child abuse I know only too well the lasting damage and the emotional scars it leaves. I now follow the work you do with great admiration and have just read the latest report posted on 11th September 2007 which clearly outlines the invaluable work you are doing. I make regular donations when I can and will continue to do so. I think all citizens should do their bit in ridding the world of this appalling crime. Keep up the good work - the figures speak for themselves.
